Tom, thanks for sharing! Great work.

Sample of frame blending using dissolve transition. Comparison with single step frame at the end. Taken from an indoor security camera pointed out window towards the sky. It's been overcast and raining so I can't go outside with my camera to capture photos with a better camera. Waiting for the weather to improve. Two Styles. Style 15 fps publish at 30 fps Style 30 fps publish at 60 fps Missing Style 25 fps publish at 50 fps (just modify one of the others to .040 for slide and dissolve time). Thanks, Tom Timelapse Blend 30 fps.ptestyle Timelapse Blend 15 fps.ptestyle

Greetings Creatives! I have some brand new music tracks to share with you all...100% free to use with attribution. They are: On my Fantasy 13 page: "DRIFTING IN A HOT AIR BALLOON " https://soundimage.org/fantasy-13/ And on my Sci-Fi 14 page: "CYBER CITY FEVER DREAM" https://soundimage.org/sci-fi-14/ PLEASE READ If you can, please consider making small contribution to support my efforts. I honestly hate asking, but I do pay for everything myself including my gear which is very expensive, so contributions from the community really help me a lot. Here are some ways you can help: https://soundimage.org/donate/ https://soundimage.org/ogg-game-music-mega-pack/ https://soundimage.org/ogg-music-packs-2/ I sincerely hope some of my tracks are helpful in your projects. Please feel free to share your projects if you wish...I love to see how my fellow creatives are using my music! 🙂

I hope you have an excellent experience with PTE AV Studio on your new Apple Mac. It’s a joy to use! Ian

Thanks, John. It is about a 20-minute walk from my home, just past the local shopping centre. I have been several times and see them regularly but often hard to capture them or I don't have my wildlife camera and lens. They are more active now up to December. There has been up to 6 of them in the stream the neighbours tell me.

Hi Igor Thank you for your prompt response. I have managed to install PTE AV Studio 10.5 on my Mac mini M4 and have deleted it on my old windows PC.

Yes. I have been testing a few timelapse videos and have found that frame blending works best when the publish frame rate is 2x the slide frame rate. You can see the difference when moving frame by frame in the video. Some people may not realize that PTE can create timelapse and hyperlapse style videos from images. I have been comparing results with other software (QT, GlueMotion, TLDF, and CamDoMachine,PTE is comparable in quality. I think frame blending is better when the output frame rate is at least 30 FPS so 15 FPS has limited value. Thanks, Tom

NIce little production of a great opportunity. Music worked well. On our two trips Down Under our experience with a platypus was a glimpse of ripples when a platypus barely surfaced in the distance.

Tom, thanks for your suggestion. In theory we can add 15fps option. In fact, video encoder in PTE is very smart. For this type of content a difference in file size between 15p and 24/30p will be negligible (around 20%). Just turn off the Hardware acceleration option for better compression. The encoder understand that it's the same picture with dissolving transition. You can compare existing 30p and 60p options to check a difference in file size.

Hi, Yes, you can download V10.5 for Mac: https://files.wnsoft.com/pteavstudio/previous-versions/PTE-AV-Studio-10.5.12.dmg and activate the Mac version with your current license key for V10 Pro. You can use one license on 2 computers - Windows and/or Mac. If you forgot your license key, you can recover it on this page: https://www.wnsoft.com/en/pte-av-studio/lost-license-key/

After many years using windows I have now migrated to Mac. I have PTE AV Studio Pro v10. I have uninstalled that on windows. Can I download and use same version in Mac.

Found this platypus in a creek not far from home. Been back several times to see it in the wild. The images are from a visit on Monday Sept 8.

I have been experimenting with timelapse by combing images with short slide duration. By adding a very short dissolve transition between slides it appears to smooth the video like motion blur (often called blending in other timelapse software). If we had a 15 FPS publish option then the file size would be smaller (depending on movement between frames). Thanks, Tom

An outline/stroke font would be great but might be complicated due to how PTE converts fonts so they can be played on other computers without the same font. If you really need crisp outline font without animation then a high resolution PNG image is another option. Tom

Nice work Mark Infra-red certainly has a very different look to it Sorry we missed the Garden when we were in Sydney too many years ago

Hi, For Mac users running the new macOS 26 (Beta): Fixed problem with wrong colors in HEIC images. Improved compatibility. Download: https://files.wnsoft.com/test/PTE-AV-Studio.dmg PTE AV Player for Mac: https://files.wnsoft.com/test/PTE-AV-Player.dmg (About window shows: 11.0.18 Build 5)

Very nice. It's interesting to watch clouds move in different directions at different altitudes. On clear nights you can watch the stars move in a circular pattern across the sky. I have added 15 fps and 24 fps timelapse styles to my previous post in styles and templates sub forum. Thanks, Tom

Great. It's easy to change the frame rate by adjusting the slide time. I can make styles for 15 fps and 24 fps. .067 ms for 15 fps (14.9 fps) .042 ms for 24 fps (23.8 fps) .033 ms for 30 fps (30.3 fps) Looking forward to your show. Thanks, Tom

Hey Everyone, This week's new Mp3 music tracks are: "KINGDOM QUEST" (LoFi) "THE SPUNKY PRINCESS" (LoFi) "THE WINDS OF STRANGE" (LoFi) As always, they're 100% free to download and use in your projects with attribution, just like my thousands of other music tracks. You'll find them on my Fantasy 11 page...here's the link: https://soundimage.org/fantasy-11/ OGG GAME MEGA MUSIC PACK Don't forget about my Ogg Mega Music Pack that contains all of my game music in one bulk download. It's a huge time-saver...and cool way to support my efforts, too. 🙂 Here's a link: https://soundimage.org/ogg-game-music-mega-pack/ You can even preview all the tracks if you'd like. 🙂 Enjoy! #freegamebgm

Why not just Lightroom? Or Github has ready-made Python code to do so--if you are up for that.

Here is a version of a timelapse of the sun rising before dawn at a local beach. Thanks Tom

Thanks - I have used it and will post the results shortly.

hello, news on this issue ? seems on last build I still enconter it thank you Thomas

Thank you, Igor. I am grateful for your amazing work.

HEIC images are supported only in the Mac version. Not on Windows. We plan to add full HEIC support in future. HEIC is a very complicated format. It's based on Apple file container + array of HEVC videos (tiles) + meta information (color profile).
